Argentinean Wines
|
|
Our rather smallish selection of wines from Argentina comes from Zuccardi, there is even a sparkling Chardonnay. What these wines have in common is delicious drinking and excellent quality at prices well above their station.

Australian Wines
|
|
Discover the elegant and complex wines that Australia has to offer. The crisp unwooded Chardonnay, soft smooth Merlot and delightfully fruity, spicy Shiraz, just to name a few. Australia is also making inroads into Semillon, Riesling, Petit Verdot and other grapes that were not on the usual wine lists from this country. These wines are from smaller vineyards and winemakers who take pride in their wines. Wines that deliver what they are meant to and are not mass-produced. To maintain price competitiveness we sell the majority of these wines by the case of 6 or 12 bottles.

Austrian Wines
|
|
This is a fascinating country steeped in culture and history, whose winegrowing heritage stretches back over three millenia, but whose highly individual wines are little known beyond her borders. At some stage you would have drunk a dessert wine from Austria and do they make them well. Have a go at the most known wine (apart from Riesling), Austria's own Grüner Veltliner. The wine is very versitile, on its own or with food.

Bin Ends
|
|
We are restocking our portfolio and as we believe that the customer has the right to a variety of wines, so in line with this belief some of our lines are being discontinued to make room for new and exciting wines. Not that these bin ends are dull, on the contrary these wines are just as good now as they were when we first began to stock them, but we must move on and are offering up to 20% off ALL Bin Ends. All prices displayed have been reduced by the said amount.

Champagne
|
|
Special Occasion or just feel like celebrating something. Champagne is the perfect "fizz" for just that moment or just to enjoy with scrambled eggs and salmon for that romantic breakfast. Our emphasis is on the smaller Champagne Houses, who in our opinion make just as good Champagne as the big boys but don't always get the chance to show it. Only in the Best years do Champagne Houses declare a Vintage Year. These Champagnes reflect the individuality of each house and of each Vintage.

Chilean Wines
|
|
The development of the Chilean wine industry in the last decade has been nothing short of spectacular. Chile is progressing from making simple fruit-driven wines to wines with subtlety and complexity. Chilean wines today represent great value with superb expression of varietal character. Sauvignon Blanc is citrus-packed and refreshing. You've also got to try a Carmenere - Chile's new pride and joy. There are some excellent wines for everyday drinking in our compact selection.

Dessert Wines

Please note that most sweet wines are sold in 37.5cl or 50cl bottles.

German Wines
|
|
Experience firsthand why wine connoisseurs and top chefs rate German Rieslings as the most versatile and food -compatible white wines in the world.

Italian Wines
|
|
This is our speciality. Italian wines have been so undervalued and we feel that Italy has so much to offer from their vineyards, from the humble Pinot Grigio to the mighty Barolo this country has some exquisite wines. Try a Barolo or a Brunello with a hearty meat dishes or mature cheese or why not have a glass of Chianti with some lasagne or a Corvina whilst you're relaxing after a hard day. If you fancy something cooler try a Sicilian Viognier, you will not be dissapointed.

Crisp Chenin Blanc, fruity Sauvignons, deep brooding Shiraz and of course their own Pinotage. The wines from Cloof have arrived to swell our stock room.

From wonderful and easy drinking wines to some of the favourite Rioja, we have a selection of wines from Spain to complement every occasion and constantly strive to search out new and exciting producers from this wonderful wine producing country. Try one of the Canas or Urbina wines or if you fancy something really different, be surprised by a Chardonnay from Bodegas Anadas.

|
Sparkling Wines
|
|
Sparkling Wines from well known producers and a few surprises. We hope that you enjoy the selection that we have created and have an enjoyable time drinking these wines. The Sparkling Shiraz wines should be served slightly chilled. Naturally this depends on the conditions. If its summer and you want them with a barbeque for example, 30 minutes in the refrigerator will do just fine. However, if its mid winter then room temperature will do fine. In short, don’t overchill, or serve warm.
